He put the phone down again and helped Qiao Man for ten minutes. When the time was up, he gently reminded him, “Time’s up.” Qiao Man set the bricks aside, carefully fenced off the part he’d completed, and neatly put the rest back in the box. Qiao Le had taught him from a young age to always put his toys away and never leave them lying around. Once everything was packed up, Qiao Man threw himself into Qiao Le’s arms. Qiao Le scooped him up and grabbed his teddy bear slippers. “Time…- 182.5 K • Completed
- Chapter 24 – Agreement Reached Pei Wenjing didn’t know that Shen Hechuan was away on a business trip. Unlike Shen Hechuan, Pei Wenjing had an older brother who handled all the affairs of the family company, big and small. All he needed to do was live freely as a carefree young master. After seeing Qiao Le, he fired off over a dozen messages to Shen Hechuan, curious to see how he would react. But to his surprise, there was no response after a long while. Was he busy? Or maybe the video…

- Chapter 23: The World Is Full of Rivals in Love With his thoughts opened up, Shen Hechuan’s mood also lifted. “I’ll ask him about it,” he said to Wu Huilan, not directly rejecting her request to add Qiao Le on WeChat. “I’m driving now—let’s talk about it next time.” Wu Huilan replied, “Oh, okay then. Drive safe. Remember to ask Lele for me.” “Mm.” The call ended just as he hit a red light. Ahead of him, a group of stylishly dressed young people were laughing and…

- Chapter 22 — A New Train of Thought The car once again sank into silence. If he weren’t worried about scaring Qiao Le, Shen Hechuan truly wanted to show him firsthand what happened that night—to let him experience for himself whether he was “good or not.” But right now, their relationship wasn’t at that point, and the setting certainly wasn’t right either. Etiquette and morality wouldn’t allow him to do such a thing. All he could do was stew in silent frustration. After Qiao Le…

- Chapter 21: A Delicate Topic Shen Hechuan suppressed the chaotic beating of his heart, walked over, and took the gift bag from Qiao Le’s hand, then smoothly held his hand in his own. “Just accept it,” he said gently to Qiao Le. “Don’t be nervous.” Qiao Le whispered, “But I didn’t bring a gift.” He had thought about bringing a present beforehand, but deciding on what to bring was difficult. Something cheap might not be appropriate for elders, and something expensive was beyond…

- Chapter 20: It’s so heartwarming! Once everyone was seated, Wu Huilan, worried Qiao Le might feel restrained, gently said, “Lele, there aren’t many rules in our house. Just treat it like your own home and eat as much as you like.” “Alright, thank you, Auntie.” Qiao Le picked up his soup and took a sip. The kitchen had prepared a traditional Cantonese slow-simmered soup, since they’d heard Qiao Le liked Cantonese cuisine. The premium red mushrooms were rich and fragrant, paired…

- Chapter 19 – A Small Sense of Ceremony The villa’s front yard was enormous. As the car drove in, bursts of confetti went off at intervals along the way to welcome them. Besides that, Qiao Le noticed that there were delicate little lanterns and red double-happiness characters hanging from the bonsai trees lining the road. Was he really just here for dinner? Wasn’t this actually… his own wedding banquet? Amidst all the colorful confetti, Qiao Le found himself dazed. He turned to look…

- Chapter 18 – Unless… he couldn’t get it up? Although he was shocked by Shen Hechuan’s response, Qiao Le knew it wasn’t appropriate to press the issue of what exactly “next time” or “be careful” meant in a public place. He tried to brainwash himself into thinking Shen Hechuan had only said it casually. He hadn’t specifically said the “next time” would be with him, right? What if he meant someone else? So Qiao Le pretended not to have heard clearly and asked a question that…

- Chapter 17: Friends Don’t Sleep Together Same place, same people, same “honey.” Qiao Le no longer felt the awkwardness or embarrassment he had the first time. In fact, after saying it, he almost wanted to laugh. He took it as a way to lighten the mood. “Just kidding, don’t take it seriously.” “I don’t mind,” Shen Hechuan replied calmly. “If you want to, you can.” ?? I want… I want what?! Qiao Le felt like the tables had been turned on him. Shen Hechuan seemed…

- Chapter 16: Ongoing Deal The next day, after sending Qiao Man to kindergarten in the morning, Qiao Le completed another errand order. Once the time was about right, he tidied himself up and headed to Seer Café for the appointment. Just like last time, he parked his little electric scooter in a corner spot—and coincidentally, that same black Maybach from before was parked in the exact same place. Arriving at the door of Seer Café, he double-checked that he hadn’t come to the wrong place…
